Background: Education is considered a crucial element in anticoagulation management for patients with atrial fibrillation, valvular disease, ischemic heart disease, and venous thromboembolism. However, the effects of education on the patients prescribed warfarin are seldom investigated.
Objectives: This integrative review was conducted to explore the effects of educational programs on patients prescribed warfarin for the aforementioned cardiovascular diseases and to identify the components of effective programs.
Methods: A systematic search of clinical trials was performed in 8 databases from inception to August 2020. Two reviewers performed the eligibility assessment, methodological evaluation, and data extraction. A total of 9 studies were included and analyzed via narrative synthesis.
Results: Nine studies involving a combined total of 1335 patients were included in the review. The findings suggest that educational programs have potential benefits related to international normalized ratio control and warfarin knowledge. However, their effects on major bleeding and thromboembolic events are unremarkable. Stronger evidence is recommended to confirm these findings, and the limited evidence examining the effects of education on warfarin adherence, minor bleeding, abnormal international normalized ratio, readmission rate, and warfarin-related mortality requires further exploration. Verbal education supported by written materials was the main educational delivery mode. A lecture length of approximately 45 minutes was likely appropriate. Notably, the integration of educational strategies, application of follow-up interventions and monitoring measures, adoption of psychological theories in program development, and inclusion of nurses or pharmacists in program conduction seemed to be effective program components.
Conclusions: The effects of educational programs on patients prescribed warfarin mainly for atrial fibrillation, valvular disease, ischemic heart disease, and venous thromboembolism remain inconclusive. Further research using randomized controlled trials is warranted.

Quantitative susceptibility mapping via deep neural networks with iterative reverse concatenations and recurrent modules.

School of Computer Science and Engineering, Central South University, Changsha, China.
Background: Quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) is a post-processing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique that extracts the distribution of tissue susceptibilities and holds significant promise in the study of neurological diseases. However, the ill-conditioned nature of dipole inversion often results in noise and artifacts during QSM reconstruction from the tissue field. Deep learning methods have shown great potential in addressing these issues; however, most existing approaches rely on basic U-net structures, leading to limited performances and reconstruction artifacts sometimes.

Rice tillering determines grain yield, yet the molecular regulatory network is still limited. In this study, we demonstrated that the transcription factor OsMADS60 promotes the expression of the auxin transporter OsPIN5b to affect auxin distribution and inhibit rice tillering and grain yield. Natural variation was observed in the promoter region of OsMADS60, with its expression level negatively correlated with tiller number and inducible by auxin.

Women with disabilities face significant barriers in accessing maternal healthcare, which increases their risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes, particularly in Africa, where resources are limited. Artificial intelligence (AI) presents a unique opportunity to improve inclusivity and accessibility to antenatal care, skilled birth attendance and postnatal care for these women. This paper explores the potential of AI to address the socio-economic, physical, and institutional barriers that limit the utilisation of maternal healthcare services by women with disabilities.

Background: Long-term storage of cowpea pollen is important for the fertilization of spatially or temporally isolated female parents, especially during cowpea crop improvement and wide hybridization programs.
Objective: Experiments were conducted to determine pollen longevity at different storage temperatures and to develop a cryopreservation protocol for pollen of different cowpea accessions.
Materials And Methods: The investigation was carried out at the Research Farm of ICAR-NBPGR, New Delhi, India, during the kharif (rainy) season of 2022.

Background: Diet is a modifiable risk factor for non-communicable diseases which are the major causes of death worldwide. French dietary guidelines, updated in 2017, provide recommendations for a healthier diet. We aimed to study the association between adherence to these dietary guidelines and mortality in the E3N (Etude Epidémiologique auprès de femmes de l'Education Nationale) French cohort.
